    Chicken Parmesan

    Yum! A nice hidden gem. Parking is a mess but it stops there. The server was friendly and offered suggestions. The food was fresh and delicious. It tastes authentic. I will come back.

    Happy Hour Fried Ravioli

    Came out for happy hour and what a treat! The beer was $3 off and there were appetizer specials. Everything was on happy hour except the calamari and the pizza. All were delicious. Unfortunately the bread that came out with the meatballs was burned. But we had so much food it was fine. The service was great. Alex was our server and he was amazing. It was pretty empty when we got there at 5 but the dinner crowd definitely showed up. I would definitely recommend!

    Spaghetti with meat sauce and 1 meatball

    If you haven't been to Volare Italian restaurant, drop what you are doing and get yourself there. The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered a medium meat lovers pizza and spaghetti and meat sauce. Our waitress Andrea was very attentive. It was a wonderful evening. The ambiance of the restaurant was so warm & inviting.

    Been going to the original Broadway location for several years before they moved to Olmos with never any issues--always great pizza for takeout . We decided to try dining at the Olmos location tonight. The positive: pizza--a must. Crust is amazing and really great flavor and the Large was more than enough for two of us. The atmosphere is nice and warm and relaxed. The cons: the worst calamari we have ever had. Sooo rubbery--not made to order and definitely frozen. The staff--the manager (on his phone sitting at the bar) and four staff members sitting around him chatting and never anyone checking to see how our appetizer was. We waited for several more minutes with empty glasses to finally have someone come up and ask us if we wanted refills before we received our pizza. As mentioned, pizza was great, but again, no one checked on us throughout the course of us eating that. Finally, our server came up and started taking our silverware as I still had pizza on my plate. I told her that I wasn't done and she proceeded to place the fork that she touched back o to my plate. I immediately told her that I did not want the same fork and that we were still eating. After a couple minutes, we decided we just wanted to leave and asked for the check and the same server came by to slam the check down on our pizza box. I am appalled by the service and seeing most of the staff hanging out at the bar drinking coffee and not tending to guests. We will never eat dine-in here again! Too many untrained servers and a manager that obviously doesn't care about anything. I always prefer local neighborhood restaurants, but this one got it all wrong this evening.

    Hidden gem alert!! My sister sent me a TikTok about this place. The restaurant is actually inside the abandoned Olmos Pharmacy building off McCullough!! I had no idea, I thought it was still a pharmacy. Very laid back and nice environment inside. I went for the lunch special and it did not disappoint! I got a side house salad, bread and butter, and huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs for under $13 after tax/before tip. Definitely a bang for your buck! About the same price as fast food these days! It was quick and delicious! The service was very attentive. I want to return for dinner to try some wine some day! The pasta was hot and delicious. Excited to come back with friends!

    My half of the check.

    Nothing to write home about. Quaint place but very uncomfortable seating unless you are in a booth. Service was great. Food was good although the salad - for its price ($16) - could have been larger. It was just lettuce, a few Kalamata olives and sprinkled feta cheese. Pizza was cooked well, however a little too doughy for a Margherita. Don't think I'll go back.

    Rigatoni alla vodka

    I ordered the Rigatoni alla Vodka, and it was absolutely amazing. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the rigatoni was cooked to perfection. The portion size was also incredibly generous, so I definitely didn't leave hungry!

    Rigatoni all vodka
    Jordan S.

    My absolute favorite Italian restaurant here in SA. I have been coming here for the past 6 years and have never been disappointed. Our waiters (Lotus and a man I forgot his name) were amazing. Never ran out of water in my glass, orders were quick to the table and they know how to make people feel special. The pasta alla Vodka with chicken was just perfectly cooked. The pizza is amazing too!

    Small Caesar Salad
    Emily A.

    Made dinner reservations here for two right before a theatrical show. The ambiance was quite cozy and comfy considering we had such cold weather that evening. I ordered the meat lover's lasagna and a Caesar salad - both were delicious! The staff were welcoming and pleasant.

    Pepperoni and Salami New York style Pizza, Rigatoni à la vodka

    I placed an ahead of time order here for pick up and it was the best decision made today. The pizza was fantastic with beautifully textured crust, and amazing pepperoni and salami. The rigatoni à la vodka was perfect. I placed the order for 8:17pm, arrived at 8:15pm and I was greeted with friendly faces, and my food shortly after. 10/10

    Absolutely love the fact that they offer provolone! Easily one my top 3 pizzas in SATX. We get it every Tuesday and it never disappoints.

    Do they offer gluten free pasta?

    Has Volare stopped taking to go orders? I can't order online and no one ever answers anymore.

    I do not know. I have not been there in quite a while. The quality of food declined so I am no longer a customer. I do know they are closed on Mondays.

    I was in San Antonio for a work conference and somehow ended up at Dough two nights in a row…read more Honestly, after the first meal there was no way I wasn't coming back. The first night I was greeted by a friendly host and sat at the bar, where Billy took great care of me. He recommended the Cotto e Salsiccia, and I'm so glad he did. It was easily one of the best pizzas I've had. While I was there, the cheesemaker let me try a bite of the fresh mozzarella they were making in-house. It was still warm and absolutely delicious. The next night I was feeling a little homesick after being away for work, and all I could think about was that pizza. I walked back in and the host greeted me by name. I sat at the bar again, where another bartender remembered me from the night before, and Billy came over just to say hi. It seems like such a small thing, but when you're traveling alone, being welcomed back like that can completely change your evening. What really impressed me was seeing that it wasn't just me. The guy next to me ordered two pizzas to go, and when the chef brought them out he smiled and said, "Oh, Jose! I thought this order looked familiar!" You can tell they actually know their regulars and genuinely enjoy what they do. The second night I ordered the Fontina e Salsiccia, and somehow it was just as good as the first pizza. Everything is cooked in the wood-fired oven--even the wings--and you can taste the difference. The crust has that perfect char, the ingredients are fresh, and it's the kind of authentic Neapolitan pizza that keeps you thinking about it long after you've left. I've eaten at a lot of good restaurants while traveling, but very few have made me feel as welcome as Dough did. Great food is one thing. Great people are what made me come back the very next day. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in San Antonio.

    Ok pizza! Great waiter…read more Burned my forearm on the hot plate next to the entrance. Why? They have people Coming in and out! When I asked why they have a hot plate shelf next to the entrance and that I burned my arm on it, the manager and greeter state? There is a sign! They took no responsibility for the ill placement of the sign! As you walk in, we saw several People back into the shelf to allow others to get buy! I can see a child burning their hand terribly on this! What did the restaurant do? Nothing... several times we suggested something be done and not until the manager realized that yes, this is a problem did he do something remotely responsible. I couldn't enjoy the food! I was upset? Hurting and taken back by the terrible way they handled the situation. For reference, I'll show you the picture with the barrier.
